Find a home carer in Ashford Common
Compare local carers who have passed our ID, right to work, DBS and interview checks, read reviews from families nearby and contact them directly.
Checked means we check identity and right to work and require an enhanced DBS certificate before a carer can use the platform, and carers record an online interview about their experience and approach to care. We do not check qualifications, training or references. You choose your carer, and remain responsible for checking their skills, training and documents suit your needs.

“She was kind, thoughtful, patient. She talked to my mum and tried to engage her in interesting conversation with her”
My sister, Judith, arranged for Ruth to come and look after our mother for 10 days while our regular carer went on holiday. Well, I wish we could have kept her. But, as my mother has dementia we felt that she would find it difficult to get used to a new person. Ruth was absolutely lovely. Extremely experienced…

“Without his support we wouldn't have been able to navigate bringing and keeping Dad at home.”
Aman came to support my Dad's care when we were at crisis point. We have really appreciated his calm and professional approach. Without his support we wouldn't have been able to navigate bringing and keeping Dad at home.

“I’d say Snjezana is the best live in we’ve had here. She would get up early in the morning and make herself busy cleaning and tidying before anyone else was up.”
I’ve known Snjezana as primarily my father’s live in carer and to some extent my mother’s also. My mother’s needs were minimal but my father’s dementia was quite extreme. His behaviours were challenging to say the least. The overall situation involved Bluebird Care, the local council, the Memory Clinic and the GP. My…

“Florie is friendly, caring and reliable and goes out of her way to make sure my Dad is cared for.”
Florie is friendly, caring and reliable and goes out of her way to make sure my Dad is cared for. Having someone I can depend on, as I live in Australia, is a great weight off my mind.

“She cooked nutritious meals, arranged outings, and provided companionship, which greatly enhanced my mother's quality of life.”
I am pleased to provide a reference for Tina, who cared for my mother, for two years before her passing. Throughout this time, Tina demonstrated exceptional care and compassion.

The Checks
How Do We Check
Private Carers?
ID and right to work
We check identity online with Yoti, a digital identity service, and right to work in the UK with a Home Office share code or passport.
Enhanced DBS Certificate
We ask carers on the platform to hold an accepted criminal-record check (Enhanced DBS issued within the last 2 years, DBS Update Service, Scottish PVG or Access NI), with renewal or rechecks depending on the accepted route.
Online Interview
Every carer records an online interview, in their own time, so we can understand their experience, communication style and approach to care. This is not a clinical assessment or a guarantee of suitability. Check a carer’s skills, experience and training with them before booking.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform and does not provide, manage, supervise or clinically assess care.
Clients remain responsible for checking carer documentation, interviewing carers, checking suitability for their specific needs, and agreeing the scope of care directly with the carer.
